<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone, <div><br></div><div>I spent all day on Discord yesterday! With the help of Marcus, who has created several discord servers for Anime Expo, he assured me that we would be able to create one Discord server for Strategicon's links and invites. I like to think of it as a central hub so that the typical congoer has one place to access all the information from all the departments. I ended up making a little test server to see how it would function and it actually works really well! I'd really like to explore this option during the meeting today. I know we have all been working on our own things, and we would still be able to link our own servers if that is how you've been organizing it. </div><div><br></div><div>Here's the link if you'd like to see the Gamex2020 Test I made: <a href="https://discord.gg/RaTxAh4">https://discord.gg/RaTxAh4</a></div><div><br></div><div>With the help of William, we put together the departments. I apologize in advance if any department is missing. I'm still new! I added channels that everyone should have, like headquarters and daily schedule. There is still a lot of autonomy and flexibility with how you would like to present your department. Permissions and roles can also be granted to specific people, ex: Head of Department, Senior Volunteer, Volunteer. For instance, I added Tara and Will, and they can only edit under their own department. In addition, I used Publisher to make a little JPEG with banners of departments if you'd like to use that for your servers. That way it's still cohesive and looks like the same branding under Strategicon even when it pops up as a different server from the central hub. Let me know if you'd like me to make one for you. I attached images from ING, LARPs, and Party Games. </div><div><br></div><div>Of course, this was just a test and nothing official, but I thought I would get something together so we can all see it and play around with some options. See you guys at 12! </div><div><br></div><div>Warm Regards,</div><div>Angelica</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Apr 25, 2020 at 8:44 PM Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Message From: Tara Leederman  <a href="mailto:taleederman@gmail.com" target="_blank">taleederman@gmail.com</a><br>

Hey everyone,<br>
<br>
I was just talking to one of my designers and he was planning on using discord for voice chat for his game. Looking at how Discord is broken into channels and then subtopics, that would only work if each department has their own sever. That way the subtopics are the games we have and then the GMs could use that for explaining games and walking people through it. We could then control the permissions for each of our staff and customize it a little more. <br>
<br>
Or would that be possible after the upgrade? I’m not sure how an upgraded version of Discord looks like. <br>
<br>
What are your thoughts? I attached a visual if that’s easier.  At least in my department there’s only going to be one game of each type going, so it’s not going to overcrowd the subtopics. <br>
<br>
If the sever was GameX and the subtopics were the departments the voice channel would be all the games, or we’d have to make a secondary discord for that purpose anyway. <br>
<br>
Let me know your thoughts. <br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Angelica <br>
